Re: Terminator Upkeep

Its intentional. I double checked in-game, and the upkeeps for each matched up, even the SM ones. They were talking about standardizing all the Terminators across the board (SM, OM, Chaos) in patch 2.92 preview, but changed their minds after some pushback. 2.9.2 Patch Preview https://dawnofwar.info/...

Re: Make OM great again.

I think Torpid is correct about GM needing to be reverted back to where they were at retail, where there weren't any inherent issues with them. Retail had it right at 230 for GM; it burdened anyone trying to create multiple squads of GM, and therefore helped prevent any uncontrollable spamming. Drop...

Re: Make OM great again.

I much prefer the current SS with Nemesis Focus instead. At the very least they should fit best as a melee focused unit both lore wise and faction wise. The balance team has already made them to be a more melee centric marine variant to TAC and CSM stat wise, and they don't need more ranged damage t...

Re: SM and 1v1

how often do other races have to retreat because a single model loss can cost you the game? im fairly noobish and only really play sm and csm, but this is it, you break the bank for losing a couple of tac marines and its hard to get back on your feet Everyone retreats when they need to avoid heavy ...

Re: Make OM great again.

It certainly feels like the majority of OM units were implemented or created before the faction's style was designed and the unit roles were determined.

Re: Make OM great again.

Besides the over-buffed Psybolts Ammunition (50/15 and should just be removed), what is wrong with current SS? 500 Req is a steep req increase, while upkeep changes will have pretty much zero impact if SS are bought right off the bat (note: pop increase will work though). Why change req and upkeep?

Re: My questions/thoughts to the balance leaders

Sentinel is already showing 2.55 per pop, both in game and in patch notes. It was changed in 2.9.0:
Sentinel:
Upkeep increased from 1.7 to 2.55.
Stomp radius reduced from 10 to 8.

Hey everyone! Impregnable started three threads where he gave his analysis of how upkeep can affect eco. The most important one was this one: Improving Atlas/Torpid Model of Standardization https://www.dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5513 The big takeaway is that upkeep changes should b...

Re: 2.9.2: How to beat GK as Nids?

Warriors should do good, too. The Warriors have high HP, heavy infantry armor and power melee, so they should be a decent enough choice.

Re: Karskin but Worth For every Situation

There was double plasma Kasrkin used in a recent Indrid Casts Faction Wars video of IG vs SM (Indrid Casts Dawn of War 2 - Faction Wars 2019 | Space Marines vs Imperial Guard #2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ptTgo37spU ). It is a 3v3, but it looked like it had very relevant info for this thread. ...

Hey everyone, I've got an update on upkeep (not that I'm qualified or anything :lol: ). It's obviously been a confusing concept, but after looking through Crewfinity's spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gXqjJa9i7Thi6PYfAP7nbErCP6SvQXGoLg2EIZh2l34/edit?usp=sharing) and Antandron's U...

Re: GK strike squads current state.

Why not make SS a ranged unit with decent melee for T1 And give them a melee upgrade for t2? Maybe just maybe give them power melee t2 or something It's probably best to focus on the melee potential of SS and less on their ranged potential. Nemesis SS is clearly the better of the two, and most like...

Re: GK strike squads current state.

Wouldn't it make more sense to compare SS to TAC and CSM? The stats and tactics among the three marine squads variants are much more similar, pre upgrades. They don't seem too far off. HP per Model: TAC (350) SS (330) CSM (325) Piercing DPS: TAC (14.58) SS (10.5) CSM (13.42) P. Melee DPS: TAC (19) S...

Re: Post- 11/17 2.9 Patch Making Stream Notes and Points

Did anyone follow through with this upkeep theory?? It seemed to be pretty spot on, but then all discussion stopped.

The theory in question being that upkeep is calculated per each model that surpasses the 30 population threshold

Re: Ask for feedback on Purifiers.

What was the intended role for the Purifier squad? Do they need to be their own deployable unit? I only ask because at the moment OM seems like it's been tagged with a bit too many melee squads (such as T1 Strike Squad, T2 Purifiers, T3 Interceptor/GK Termi/GK Paladin). I scratch my head when I thin...
